Tenner for tinned foods
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Lambeth.
- Wednesday, 6th of May 2020
After a few last minute cancellation missions, I finally had a mission that was going ahead! I called Ms. I before I left the house to make sure it was on. She confirmed she needed some tinned foods, bread and butter.
After a 7k run, I arrived at a local Tesco about 2 minutes away from Ms. I's home brought the goods and headed to her address, which was slightly more complex to figure out her entrance against what Google Maps was saying to me.
The fun didn't stop there. She wanted to reimburse me in cash and only having a tenner and neither of us having no change, I had to venture back to Tesco to get change.
Upon the first visit, there was a carer, but arriving the second time she had left. So, I took on some caring duties - clearing her plate from her side table and preparing a better brew (as she didn't like the one the carer made). It brought back memories (good ones) of my brief time helping my dad take care of my granny (his mum). That's why I do these things... To help out.
